NO.87 Olivia believes that it is a good idea to conduct an employee survey each year to get input about employee attitudes. Her vice president thinks that employee surveys cost too much money and don’t provide much value in the end.
What should Olivia tell the vice president?
Response:

A well-constructed employee survey can provide information about the types of employment benefits employees would find attractive, how they feel about their managers, and if they believe they are being treated fairly. All of these feedback categories can be assigned dollar values and can be compared over time as budget impacts.

Since the professional HR community is suggesting that employee surveys be conducted each year, it would be wise for Olivia’s organization to do that also.

The organization Olivia worked at before did an employee survey, and she thinks it would communicate to employees that the employer is willing to listen to them.

In the modern workplace, employee attitudes are controlling factors. Surveys will help managers regain control of the workplace.

NO.93 Elaine has attended an industry meeting with other HR professionals. She came back to her office with the idea that background investigations of new hires are something she ought to implement.
What would you say to Elaine about that idea?
Response:

The EEOC has banned background investigations in any form because they discriminate against Hispanics and African-Americans.

The EEOC has only recommended that background checks not automatically eliminate Hispanics or African-Americans because of employment history.

Background checks are still legal and should be conducted on applicants before a job offer is made to be sure there is no history of bad behavior that could bring liability into the new workplace.

Finding anyone these days with no skeleton in the closet is going to be difficult. So, background checks are not really worth the money or time they require.
